Speaking of gettin off....

Do any of you remember the first show that led to the series?

At the end of the show a young "Jock" and "Miss Ellie" were getting it on, she was a virgin, he kept asking her if she was alright, and at the end she was breathing pretty hard, she looked up at him and said with a smile "yeah, can we do it again?!

I don't remember that one and that's not the first one they showed this time. The first show last week was Bobby coming home married to "That Barnes woman".

Sorry, I was talking bout the prequel:

"Back in 1933, the SOUTHFORK RANCH, owned by AARON and BARBARA SOUTHWORTH, is the background to a traditional annual party in which takes place the romantic encounter between the beautiful daughter of the SOUTHWORTH marriage, 15-year-old ELLIE, and the 17-year-old WILLARD BARNES. She thinks she is in love with him and hopes to share her future with him. The planned marriage will mean the ultimate union of the SOUTHFORK lands that partly belong to WILLARD, who inherited them from his deceased father. The boy´s drinking habit and the entry of an ambitious and determined JOCK EWING, will radically change the things and that future planned by ELLIE and WILLARD, who has met JOCK and his brother JASON (future father of JACK and JAMIE´s) with whom he has created a little company to drill oil in REGAL, TEXAS.

WILLARD has the ability to detect the "black gold", while JOCK has the strength and determination to strike it out and merchandise it. It seems to be the ideal combination, but things get entangled again due to WILLARD´s drinking, who soon feels attracted to gambling, above all when, after introducing his best friend JOCK and the woman who represents everything to him, ELLIE, discovers that a great love has blossomed between them and ELLIE can´t feel anything for him but a brotherly love. ELLIE, whose father has a very bad health condition, is forced to get married in order to save the ranch. One night, she prefers to choose JOCK over DIGGER...This disappointment ultimately sinks DIGGER down and, during one of his drinking blackouts, resigns to his share of the ranch ownership when AARON and JOCK propose him to sell it to them. DIGGER doesn´t pay attention, but JOCK signs the check that closes the deal.

20 years have passed by. BARNES is ready to leave DALLAS forever and visits the land he used to own for last time. As he gets there, a familiar expression appears in his face: there is OIL in that ground. That is too much for DIGGER, who, with an angry gesture, leads to SOUTHFORK with vengeance in his mind...WILLARD gets his pistol out of his jacket pocket and points at JOCK EWING, who is watching him from the house balcony. But he missed the shot, indeed. It´s 1951. Hatred is definitely sewed among the EWINGS and the BARNESES, in presence of 5 children: 16-year-old J.R., who takes every sex advance; shy BOBBY, naughty GARY, grumpy CLIFF and charming PAM, whose ages oscillate between 3 and 7. The story ends with the image of 2 kids playing, until a moody little boy called CLIFF takes his sister apart from the youngest EWING, and away from SOUTHFORK, as the main title rises. The rest is HISTORY."

Sorry, I didn't mean to pull an RYD with the blue.

As large as it looks, the home is only 4800sqft plus garage and 40 acres. It's funny how often they referred to the "back forty", when that's all they really had.

The owner of the original Southfork was under some investigation and didn't want the publicity, so he asked production to stop at the ranch after the 5 episode mini-series was shot. It was in Frisco, TX at Preston and Main.

Interesting this is a Dallas, think BBQ, thread and the original "mansion" was the "Brinkman Ranch". It burned in 1986, but is still a working ranch.

Bobby just brought Gary home and Gary said the place looked just about the same.... It's the first episode with a whole new damn house!!!!
